Wisteria Table Lamp Leaded Glass and Bronze This Art Nouveau lamp was created by Clara Wolcott Driscoll (1861-1944) for Tiffany Studios, New York, in 1902. It is one of the house's most iconic and complex designs. The shade depicts cascading wisteria blossoms crafted from nearly 2,000 pieces of leaded glass in blue, green, and cream, forming the shape of a vine, with a branching base. This model was a grand prize winner at the 1902 Turin Exposition and remains a prized piece for major museums and private collectors worldwide. Dim. 68.58 cm H × 46.99 cm D.
